Things you should know about this book..., December 22, 2011
This review is from: 13 Artists Children Should Know (Hardcover)
First off, I bought this for art lessons for my homeschooled son. I feel it's important for kids to have a background in very basic art. We watch a lot of Little Einsteins and that has helped get him interested in major artists. This book has several familiar paintings from the show and that will be neat for him to see.
However...for those of you who don't want your children seeing nudity, beware. There are a few paintings with "exposed parts". I'm not a prude, but my 5 year old doesn't need to see these. Luckily, there are enough other paintings that I can skip these pages and he shouldn't notice.
The actual book is well made and arranged. Each artist has a time line of things that happened during their life and lots of personal information about the artist. There are several examples of each artists most famous works. There are suggestions for further research and a glossary with important words.
Here's who's covered in the book: da Vinci, Vermeer, Monet, Rousseau, Cassatt, van Gogh, Matisse, Paul Klee, Franz Marc, Picasso, Chagall, Kahlo and Warhol.
I'm kinda thinking about taking it when we're done and making a mosaic out of the paintings in the book for his room.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: 13 Artists Children Should Know (Hardcover)
It good to start children, while young, in getting an art education. Through knowledge comes appreciation. This book does that and more.
